The earthquake's epicenter was only six miles south of Napa and 51 miles from Sacramento. Northern California residents have been sharing images with CNN of destroyed store shelves and fallen furniture and items in their home. A few users shared images of structural damage and house fires.

This is the largest earthquake to shake California since the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989.
